Assessment and treatment<\/p>\n<\/div>

Diseases of the blood, lymphatic system, and bone marrow<\/h2><\/div>

Diseases affecting the blood, lymphatic system, or bone marrow are referred to as blood disorders<\/b> or hematological disorders<\/b>. They can affect the number or function of blood cells, as well as components of the clotting or immune system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hematology at the Tumor Zentrum Aargau focuses on the diagnosis and treatment<\/b> of both benign and malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Broad spectrum of diseases<\/p>\n<\/div>

What can you expect in hematology?<\/h2><\/div>

Hematology covers a broad spectrum of diseases. This includes benign disorders of the blood and blood-forming bone marrow as well as malignant \u201cliquid\u201d tumors. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Hematological diagnostics<\/p>\n<\/div>

      Close collaboration with local laboratories and national reference centers<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Hematological diagnostics are largely based on microscopic, clinical chemistry, molecular genetic, and immunological methods. Blood samples as well as tissue samples from the bone marrow or lymph nodes are examined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      From A to Z<\/p>\n<\/div>

      Process of assessment and treatment<\/h2><\/div>
      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Consultation and initial assessment<\/strong>
        \nAfter referral, a timely hematology consultation takes place. All available findings are reviewed and\u2014if necessary\u2014further examinations are initiated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Treatment concept<\/strong>
        \nOur goal is to develop an individualized treatment concept within a few working days. This is discussed in detail during the consultation and, if needed, explored further in an additional nursing consultation. The treatment plan and treatment goals are discussed together with patients and their relatives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Diagnostics<\/strong>
        \nHematological diagnostics are based on microscopic, clinical chemistry, molecular genetic, and immunological methods. Blood samples and\u2014if required\u2014tissue samples from the bone marrow or lymph nodes are examined. Diagnostics at Tumor Zentrum Aargau are carried out in close collaboration with local laboratories and national reference centers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Outpatient treatment<\/strong>
        \nMany benign and also numerous malignant hematological diseases can be assessed and treated on an outpatient basis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        \n

        Inpatient or specialized therapies<\/strong>
        \nIf inpatient treatment is necessary, it is provided in a specialized oncology ward. For certain complex therapies, for example for acute leukemias, high-dose therapies, or CAR T-cell therapies, referral to specialized centers is arranged if required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        <\/div>

        In the event of changes in the blood count or symptoms<\/p>\n<\/div>

        When is a hematological assessment indicated?<\/h2><\/div>

        A hematological assessment is indicated if changes in the blood count<\/b> are detected or symptoms suggest a disease of the blood-forming system<\/b>.<\/p>\n

        This may be the case with:<\/p>\n<\/div>

        • <\/i><\/span>
          Unexplained anemia<\/div><\/li>
        • <\/i><\/span>
          \n

          Abnormal blood values<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

        • <\/i><\/span>
          \n

          Increased bleeding<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

        • <\/i><\/span>
          \n

          Recurrent thromboses<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

        • <\/i><\/span>
          \n

          Susceptibility to infections<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

        • <\/i><\/span>
          \n

        • <\/i><\/span>
          \n

          Unexplained general symptoms<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>

          Further assessment and treatment planning within hematology also take place in cases of suspected malignant diseases<\/b> such as leukemias, lymphomas, or myelomas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":4171,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4064","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHematology
